Hey android pals, not sure if this is the right place to ask but my Google Fu is failing me, I’m currently in a single party consent country but will be moving to a two party consent region soon, is there an app that works like an ivr that will screen calls and advise people they’re being recorded (and ideally terminate the call if they do not consent)?

I don’t think there is such a thing as android apps that can record phone calls, at least on unrooted phones. The OS design goes way out of its way to prevent that, to prevent malware from intercepting calls. Am I mistaken?

There is! This is the settings in my built-in Phone app on my unrooted Android phone. I bought it region-unlocked as an import from the US.

Google’s own Phone app has call recording. It’s enabled/disabled depending on your region/device.

In short, yes. There’s a wide variety of call recorders, using various methods, some of which do not require root.
